It has four wings that are joined as a square, in the middle of which is a courtyard with fountain. There is a clock tower rising up at the center. The roof of the market is stacked like the pagoda.
Binh Tay Market caters mostly to the wholesale trade, and so might not be as touristy compared to Ben Thanh Market. Many of the stall keepers are Chinese, this being a predominantly Chinese part of Ho Chi Minh City. You can find stuff such as Chinese medicinal herbs, toys imported from China, sweets, and other items.
